John Myers loved Florry Castle, the prettiest and the most bewitching Kiri in Boro vi lie, a place noted far and wide for the beauty and intelli gence of its ladies. 1 lorry’s father was the wealthiest merchant in town and John was his clerk. Now, do not imagine that I am go ing to repeat the oft-tohl story of the pennih-ss youth who loved a princess; for if you do, you will lx* disappoint ed. John was Florry’s equal in everything save in one respect. While she was the most careless, romping, fun-loving young lady in the world—she had attained to the mature age of seventeen —John was the most diffident fellow conceivable, blushing like a girl at everything, al ways ap[>euring, he fancied, as bash ful people are ant to, at the greatest disadvantage whenever he attempted to put his best foot forward, and doub ly awkward bethought, whenever he essayed to utter more than the com-, monest of commonplace expressions to Florry. Surely he was not handsome, in the | general acceptance of theterm. Tall, : angular, almost awkward at times, j there was a very little of gracefulness 1 aboufchim, it is true, and his great sensitiveness led him to think those little disadvantages infinitely more conspicuous than they really were. Hut Florry, overlooking all this and seeing only hi& blue eyes and wavy brown hair, clustering about a broad, high brow, white as marble—pleas ant enough things to look upon, sure ly— noting his constrained, diffident | manner when in her presence, and : his many odd little attentions to her self and her wishes, and discerning! his great love for her through all, at last began to pity him heartily for his want of confidence in himself; and we all know to what tender passion pity is akin. Once he heard her express a wish to read a hook, tin? last new novel, it was not for sale in Boroville, and he wrote to the publishers, directing them to mail it to Florry’s address. When he came to dinner one day, she sut near a window, turning over the leaves, with th 6 bright sunlight falling in a mellow glow upon her queenly little head. She looked love lier than ever just then ; and he tried hard to keep back the Hush that man tled his face as he saw her for the first time in the enjoyment of his anony mous gift. “Oh, John,” she cried, with a pleasant look in her face that did his heart good, “you know how i have longed to read ‘Charlie’s Bride,’ and now some good fairy has made me twice glad by sending it to me. I’m ijgK it must have been .Mrs. Chester. She’s always so thoughtful, and she said she’d not forget me when she re turned home.” “ I’m very glad you’ve got the book, Florry,” he said simply, but in a strange, constrained sort of way that made her look up. “ Why, John,” she said, “does anything trouble you?” “.No, Florry,” with half-averted face, “ Why do you ask?” “ Because ” “ Because! what, Florry?” “ Nothing.” Then changing the subject, ami w itli a quick, shy glance up into his face: “ The book is splen did, John 1 could bless the one who gave it!” Then obdurately : “ Mrs. Chester is very kind.” Mrs. ('heater still. John turned away. And so matters went on for a full j month, and then Casper Ducey came j to Boroville, astonishing all with ids j handsome face and attire, his lavish expenditure of money, his fast horses, I his fast driving and his fast life aito- j getlier. lie was a thorough man of the world, dashing, brilliant,faseinat- ! ing; and, as far as external appear-j ances went, wealthy; and external j appearances, go a great ways in such j a place as Boroville. M rs. Digby approved of Casper | Ducey. Mrs. Digby was an oracle in i Boroville. She was a handsome wo-! man of five and twenty, a lively; young widow, whose second mourn ing became her charmingly, and who,; some people said—but some people i are not to be relied on to any great j extent, you know—would not be par-' ticularly avers to trying the martial yoke again, so lightly had she bourne j it, with a suitable partner, of course. In company with her late husband, the widow had spent several seasons at the various places of summer re- ! sort, besides passing a winter at the capital; and she was considered in fallible authority on all matters relat- j ing to society at large. She was pret- | ty, intelligent, dressed in excellent taste, and was believed to have a snug little fortune all her own. So, you see, she was a very nice little bit of femininity, as the world would say. Quite a little company of the elite of the village assembled in the wid ow’s parlor one evening, and Mr. Du eey was the subject of their conversa tion. “ Yes, Mr. Ducey is a very desira- \ gentleman,” said the widow. “We must welcome him to our circle. He | is handsome, witty and accomplished, j and—and of course he is rich ; but! that don’t matter so much, you know. ! We met him at Newport three years j ago—poor, dear Harry and I.” And ; she gave her handkerchief a very un certain twirl, that left the shadow of a doubt in the minds of some of her j listeners whether it was intended as an evidence of her incontrollable sor row, at the remembrance of her “poor, dear Harry,” or to attract the atten tion of Tom Lacy, who was flirting outrageously with Mabel Townley, at the further side of the room. And so Casper Ducey had a passport to the society of Boroville, and was received with open arms. “How do you like him, Florry ?” John Myers asked one afternoon, as Mr. Ducey whirled past the window in a basket phaeton, nodding grace fully to i iorry, and then turning to make me Witty remark to Mrs. Digin , who occupied the seat at his side. The widow laughed, showing every one ol’her white front teeth to the fullest extent of propriety. She was exultant and her face showed it; and John and Florry and Mr. Ducey saw it; and John and Florry smiled, and so did Mr. Ducev —in a quiet, j gentlemanly sort of way. “Oh, i like him exceedingly well,” j said Florry, in reply to John’s ques tion. “He spent last evening here,! and he’s going to take me out in the ' morning for a ride to the lake with j that splendid turnout of his. How 1 delightful!” “ Which?” almost savagely—“Du- ; cey or his horses?” “ Both, to be sure then saucily, I “Whata stupid you are, John. I meant the ride.” Florry rode with Casjier Ducey the next morning and many mornings thereafter; and John Myers and the widow grew jealous. Ducey became Florry’s constant attendant, accom panying her to concerts and parties, and Piking her for boat rides on the lake and long drives over the pleas ant country roads. They walked to gether, sung together, danced togeth er. In short, it came to be a notable fact that Florry Castle and Mr. Ducey were very deeply in love with each other, or were flirting beyond all pro priety. He brought her flowers and music, and read poetry to her in his rich, clear voice—by and by he made love to her in the same voice. To say that Florry was not charmed with her brilliant cavalier would be in di rect opposition to the facts of the case. All thoughts of poor John Myers were* for the time being, vanished from her mind. She had no time now for odd little chats with him, as of ol<J—per haps the inclination was wanting also. John became desjterate, and re ! solved one evening to tell her all. He could no longer stand silently by I and see matters go on as they had been going for a few weeks past. He found her alone in the parlor. “ Florry!” half fearfully. “ Why* John!” with a* little start |of suprise. “ You have been so shy l ofme of late. So you have not for gotten me quite?” “ Forgotten you, Florry!” There was a world of reproach in his earn est voice. “ I shall never forget you. r and * “ I hope not, John,” she interrupt ed. Maybe she apprehended what he might liaveaaid. “ I have something to tell you, John. To-day I promised to Marry Caspar Ducey.” She was cruel, and she knew it. It is best so, she thought, he must know it some time. “ And you love him, Florry?” af ter a long pause. “ Yes,” without looking up. “ Better—better than you could ever love me?” “ I—l think so, John.” His face was pallid, and his voice trembled as he said: “Then God bless you, Florry, and make you happy. I wish you all joy and peace, now and hereafter!” Never till this moment had she comprehended the full depth of John Myens’ love. How nobly seif-sacritic ing he was—this man who could thus give iiis heart’s idol up to another, because he thought she would be hap pier with him. What a world of an guish those few words cost him none could comprehend but himself and another—(ine that reads all our hearts. How she pitied him as she thanked him for his kind wishes. He toiled patiently on at the old, monotonous drudgery in the count ing-room, striving to crush his wild, unavailing love, to drown it amid the ceaseless cares of business. The widow Digby, tired of her fu tile fishing for the “great catch,” as she mentally styled Ducey, put a fresh bait on her hook, and cast her line for Tom Lacy ; and as the latter gentle man’s heart had long since become enslaved by her pretty brown eyes, he was a comparatively easy victim. Then the widow exulted over little Mabel Townley, who did not care a straw for Lacy, and was satisfied in the proud consciousness that she had a lover at any rale. After awhile, the Borovillians ar ranged to have a grand picnic in Crimp’s grove, a mile out of town. Os course all—that is, all who belong ed to the “circle,” —were expected to attend. “The Quimbys, the Brod ailes, the Thomasses, and Mr. Ducey and Florry and Tom Lacey, besides Dr. Granton and his cousin Miss Ellis, and ever so many mdre, are going,” said the widow, “ and we shall have such a splendid time.” “Os course you will go, John,” said Florry. “ Oh, Florry, 1 cannot.” “ Why?” ‘ ‘ Because—beca use”—hesi tat ingl y, “ 1 have business of importance to at tend to at the store.” “ Oh, but you must go, John,” per suasively. “It will be the last picnic of the season, and —and you know I am going away soon. Caspar insists on my naming an early day for our marriage, and you must go just this once, for my sake; and you need rec reation—you are working too hard.” And so he promised to drive over to the grove about the middle of the afternoon —“ in time to partake of the refreshments and come home with the rest,” he said. Why Florry in sisted on his going, she scarcely knew. Maybe she thought he was working himself to death, for he had been look ing unusually pale and thin, of late. At last the all important day came, as most day r s do, and an eventful day T it was, to tiiree at least. Just after dinner the picnic party took up their line of march to the grove, looking not unlike a battallion of hotel wait ers, laden as they were with plates and platters, cakes and biscuits, and all the other things that go to make up the delicious array that we see spread out on a picnic table, to please the eye and tempt the palate. Florry waited a long time for Mr. Ducey. He came at last very late, offering no excuse for his want of punctuality, and acting, she thought, very strangely altogether. He seemed in unusually good spir its that day, however, and all unpleas ant thoughts were banished from her mind long before they came in sight of the grove, with its gay banners fluttering merrily from the wide spreading boughs, and thejolly party gathered in happy groups here and there, or wandering in couples through the shady labyrinths that extended on every side, showing transient views, through the swaying foliage, of the green Dills beyond. By and by, John Myers came, look ing flushed and heated; but whatever was passing in his mind, he main tained an outward calm. “ I’m so glad you’ve come!” said Florry. “ We’re enjoying ourselves finely.” J ust then word came that the re freshments were ready. “ There’s Mab Townley over there, John, and she looks lonely. Go and wait on her to the table,” and the lit tle witch fluttered off, leaving him no alternative but to obey. The company were just taking their places at the refreshment stands, and Florry stood quite still, looking anx iously around for her escort, who had excused himself a half hour before, and had not yet returned. Five min utes more slipped by, and still he did not come. She felt grieved and mor tified. He had never been so neglect ful of her before. What could be the matter? “ Where is Mr. Ducey?” someone asked. His protracted absence was now for the first time generally noticed. “ Yes, where is lie?” from a chorus of voices. “ What have you done with your cavalier, Florry?” Mabel Townley broke in. “ You must learn to take better care of him in the future.” “ He is old enough to take care of himself,” said Florry lightly, yet with a redflush on either cheek. “ Very true,” whispered Mrs. Dig by confidentially to Tom Lacy. “He’s five and thirty, if lie’s a day. To think of such a chit of a girl as Florry Castle marrying a man old enough to be her father—the very idea?” Mr. Lacy, as in duty bound, agreed with everything the enchantress said. “ We must find him,” said some body. “He may have met with an accident.” And a dozen of the party hastened off in various directions through the grove in search of Caspar Ducey. One of the girls found him out at last, as a little scream attested, and they were all around him in a moment. lie was lying prostrate on the ground, just within the shelter of a little thicket not far away, with his eyes closed and his face looking swoll en and purple. “ W hat is the matter ?” “ Is he dead ?” “ He’s in a tit!” Three or four of the girls screamed in a Dreath; the gentlemen looked at him hard them at each other, but said nothing. Dr. Granton glanced at the red, bloated face, then ruefully at Florry. “Speak!” she cried, with pale lips. “ Is he dead?” “Florry,” the Dr. replied kindly, “ it is best to use plain language. Mr. Ducey is drunk!” She was silent a moment, standing motionless as marble, staring into va cancy, like one in a dream. Then the pallor in her face gave place to a hot, angry flush, and her black eyes flashed as she said: Aud this is true ?” There w T as no CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE -20, 187-2. denial, and she went on: “ Then he is dead to me. I never wish to look upon his face again. I want him to know how utterly I scorn him after what lias happened. Give me a pen cil and a bit of paper, John. 1 will write a few linesforhimto read when he comes out of his stupor; then I wish you would take me home.” She*had finished in a moment. “You shall all hear it,” she said bravely, “ It is not a love letter!” And she stood up in the midst of the excited throng, whose eyes were all fixed eagerly on her resolute little face, and read what she had written : “M r. Ducky —l scorn cmd detest you! I never leant to see you again ! Florence Castle.” It was very brief, very concise; but it answered Florry’s purpose—it was to the point. She bent overand drew something from the breast-pocket of his coat. It was a small flask. Then she rolled the paper up and thrust it through a dainty little ring which she had slipped from her finger. Next she drew thestopper, and after empty ing the contents upon the grass, re placed it with the roll of paper. Then she put the flask back where she had found it. “ lie will discover it there soonest,” she said simply. “Come, John, we will go now.” The grove was deserted in a few minutes, and Casper Ducey, in his drunken slumber, was its sole occu pant. They never saw him again. His reign was over. One of the places that knew him once knew him no more, and that place was Boroville. What John and Florry said that af ternoon, as they rode home, we will not attempt to conjecture, hut certain it is that Mr. Castle gave his sanction to their betrothal that very night. And so John won Florry after all. THE EFFECT OF IT. The Missouri Republican says if any justification of the wisdom of Democrats in “going for Greeley” were needed, it is found in the strange agony of the Radical party caused by this very thing. It is ah unusual sight to see Radicalism troubled; it has been so accustomed to have things its own way, and to do things its own way, and to do as it pleased, without regard to rea son, remonstrances, arguments and entreaties, that it never dreamed of a peril that would perplex, confuse, or alarm it. But it is alarmed now. It sweats drops of agony, at every pore. It flutters from the White House to the Senate Chamber, and from the Senate Chamber to the White House. It whispers in the lobbies of the Cap itol. It calls hasty consultations in the committee-rooms. It tries to draw its Ku-Klux sword with one hand, and offers the gift of an unwil ling amnesty with the other; and its rage and alarm increase when it finds that the Ku-Klux sword hangs in the scabbard, and its partil amnesty is laughed at. It reproaches Demo crats for the principle in supporting Greeley; and it reproaches Greeley with hit want of principle in being supported by Democrats. It calls Dan Voorhees “the eloquent Indi anian.” It proclaims with a shout of triumph that Gen. Mosby is for Grant. It publishes the letters and editorials of the ex-Vice President of the Confederate States as campaign documents for Grant. It entreats the 1 )emofl*acy to go to Baltimore and put a sound Democratic ticket in the field. It affects a lively concern for the health of the Democratic party, and hopes it will not permit itself to die in this disgraceful fashion. It lurches like a crippled vessel before Sumner’s crashing broadsides. It curses Cameron, it curses Tom Mur phy, it curses Casey and Packard, it curses Leet and Stocking, it curses Babcock, it curses Clayton, it curses Gen. Dent, and it has half a mind to curse Grant himself, for bringing it into all this trouble. If Democrats ever doubted the pro priety of their conduct in espousing the cause of Greeley, this distress of their antagonists ought to* dissipate their doubts. Nothing else that it was possible for them to do, could have filled their antagonists with such mortal terror. —Columbns En quirer. NECK TWISTING IN CUIRCH. There are practices tolerated in re ligious congregations which Chris tians who are jealous for the honor of their Master’s house should utterly condemn. Decorum is the handmaid of devotional feeling, and for this reason, tire house of God should nev er be disturbed by the slightest ap proach to irreverence. “Itis a part of my religion not to interrupt the religion of others.” And we believe if many a country congregation made it a part of their religion not to twist their necks almost out of joint to witness the entrance of every person who passes up the aisle during ser vice, it would be better both for their necks and for their religion. A gross abuse of religious decorum sometimes needs harsh medicine as a remedy. We give that adopted by Henry Clay Dean, who was at one time Chaplain of Congress. Being worried one afternoon by this turning practice in his congrega tion, Mr. Dean stopped in his sermon and said: “ Now, you listen to me, and I will tell you who all the people are i as each one of them comes in.” He then went on with his dis ! course, until a gentleman entered, i when he bawled out like an usher: “ Deacon A , who keeps a shop j over the way,” and then went on j with his sermon. j Presently another man passed up | the aisle, and his name, residence and occupation were given ; so he con tinued for some time. At length j someone entered the door who was ; unknown to Dr. Dean, when he cried ! out: “ A little old man, with a drab ! coat, an old white hat; don’t know him; look for yourselves.” That congregation was cured. TOBACCO. BY A SMALL BOY. Tobacco grows something like cab bage, but 1 never saw none of it boil ed, although I have eaten boiled cab bage, and I have heard men say that cigars that were given them on election day lor nothing were cabbage leaves. Tobacco stores are mostly kept by wooden Injuns, who stand at the door and try to fool lit tle boys by offering them a bunch of cigars, which is glued in the Injun’s hands, and is made of wood also. Hogs do not like tobacco; neither do I. I tried to smoke a cigar once and it made me feel like epsom salts. Tobacco was invented by a inau named Walter Raleigh. When the people first saw him smoking they thought he was a steamboat, and as they never saw a steamboat they were frightened. My sister Nancy is a girl. I don’t know whether she likes- tobacco or not. There is a young man named Le Roy who comes to see her. He was standing on the steps one night, with a cigar in his mouth, and he said he didn’t know as she would like it, and she said, “ Le Roy, the perfume is agree able.” But when my big brother Tom lighted his pipe. Naneey said, “Get out of the house, you "horrid creature; the smell of tobacco makes me sick.” A broom with a heavy handle was sent as a wedding gift to a bride, with the following sentiment: “ This trifling gift accept from me, Its use I would commend; In sunshine use the brushy part, In storm the other end.” THE BLUE AM) THE (RAY.

CAKTiBSviLLi, Ga., May 30, 1872. Dear Sun :—There is no place on the Western & Atlantic Railroad that is making such rapid progress or that has improved more since “ the late unpleasantness,” than Cartersville. It is situated in the centre and best part of Cherokee Georgia, being in the valley of the Etowah, and sur rounded by some of the richest farm ing lands in Georgia. Its population is about 3,000. The people are full of energy. BUILDINGS AND IXPROVEMENTS. It is the county site of Bartow. The public buildings are first-class. The business portion presents quite a city appearance. The buildings, of which there is a large number, are of brick, and at present eight brick store houses, a tine large cotton fire-proof ware house, and a number of very neat residences, are in course of erection. This place is making an effort to se cure a Railroad from Gainesville to intersect the State Road at this point. If they should succeed, it will give an additional impetus to Cartersville. The scenery around Cartersville is scarcely surpassed anywhere, and the mountains round about are filled with iron and limestone. THE BARTOW HOUSE. This place has a good hotel, the Bartow House, Col. T. J. Bridges, proprietor, who is a very clever host. His table is well supplied with the best and choicest dishes the market i affords. THE NEWSPAPER. There is one paper published here, the Standard & Express, weekly. It is a large paper, and has an exten sive circulation in Georgia. It is heav ily edited by Col. J. W. Harris, Po litical Editor; Col. S. H. Smith, News and Local Editor; Col. P. H. Brewster, Agricultural and Local Editor; Col. W. S. 1). Wikle, Pub lisher and Commercial Editor. CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS. There are three churches, Metho | dist, Presbyterian and Baptist. The former is a ne w brick edifice but re | eently erected. Attached to this j church is a model Sabbath school, j Mr. Erwin, Superintendent. He ranks, in capability, with Mr. Rich ; ardson, of your city, or Mr. Derry, iu Augusta. The other churches al ; so have Sabbath schools. The colored people have two i churches, Methodist and Baptist. These also have their Sabbath schools. , The Cartersville Female Seminary is in a flourishing condition, it is presided over by Miss Safford and Miss Moon. These ladies are not only educated and highly accom plished, but have acquired consid erable reputation as writers. Their school is quite a success. The male school is taught by Mr. Hillyer. There is also here a school for boys and girls, conducted by Professor R. Johnston ; and besides these, a num ber of primary schools. There are six practicing physicians, and from twenty to twenty-five lawyers. CAR FACTORY & OTHER FACTORIES. Cartersville Car Factory and Build-i ing Association is a stock company, ! E. N. Gower, President; H. Pad- j gett, Superintendent. At this estab lishment they build freight cars, dress lumber, build houses, <tc. This I concern has only been in operation a ! little over one year. There is also a 1 steam blind and sash manufactory, Z. W. Jackson & Cos., proprietors, and perhaps as large a carriage man ufactory as any in the State, Messrs. Gower, Jones; & Cos., proprietors. | They turn out from 200 to 300 car riages and buggies annually. As to the character of their work they ac knowledge no superiors. There is a foundry here also, owned by Mr. ! Scofield. AGENT FOR THE SUN. We have secured the services of Mr. John L. Moon, a young and promising lawyer, as our agent to re flect the Sun here. We congratulate ourselves that we found this “ Moon” without the aid of a telescope, and we trust that he will borrow enough light from the Sun to keep the shad-; ovv of Radicalism On the Go.

THE TAX BILL The following are the most impor tant features of this bill, which was passed by both houses of Congress a few days since, and which will cer tainly be, if it has not already been, J signed by the President: The tax on spirits is fixed at 70 cents per gallon, and distillers are relieved from special tax and tax of 84 per barrel, wholesale and retail dealers from the tax on sales and rectifiers from the tax af 00 cents on j each barrel produced in excess of 200 | barrels. The tax on tobacco i> fixed at 20c.' | per pound uniform. The time for taking tobacco from bonded ware house is to be six months. All stamp taxes are repealed, ex cept two cents on bank checks, drafts and orders. The provisions author ! izing re-imbursement of match man ufacturers on account of unused | stamps or stamped paper, and author izing the immediate exportation, un j stamped, of articles in schedule C., I are stricken out. The words “capital employed” shall not include money borrowed or received from day to day in the usual course of business, from any person not a partner of or interested in the said bank, association or firm. The internal revenue districts are reduced to eighty, and proceedings | for recovery of illegally collected iu ' ternal taxes will be commenced with in two years from the date of pay ment, or a from the passage of the | act. Invalid Railroad Bonds.— The Bond Committee has decided, it is said, after a full and impartial inves tigation, to report against the validity of Bullock’s indorsement of the bonds of the Brunswick and Albany Rail road, the Bainbridge, Cuthbert and Columbus Road, the Camilla and Cuthbert Road, and the Cartersville and Van Wert or Cherokee Road. The question of the legality of those indorsements has been thoroughly and fairly examined in all its aspects, moral, financial and legal. The opin ions of some of the coolest, least pre judiced and ablest legal minds in the State have also been taken. The | conclusion arrived at, therefore, will doubtless receive the approval of the people of Georgia and of right-minded men everywhere. —Atlanta Gorr. Sa vannah News. A MOTHER’S HOLY WORK. Many a discouraged mother folds | her tired hands at night, and feels as I ii she had, after all, done nothing, al-, though she has not spent an idle mo- ! ment since she rose. Is it nothing that your little helpless children have had someone to come t > with all their childish griefs and joys ? Is it noth ing that your husband feels safe when he is away to his business because your careful baud directs everything at home? Is it nothing, when his business is over, that he has the bless ed refuge of home, which you have that day done your best to brighten and refine? O weary and faithful mother! you little know your power when you say, “ I have done noth ing.” There is a book in which a fairer record than this is written over against your name. • A man in Providence, addicted to “tanglefoot,” having imbibed con siderably more than was for his good, took a seat by the fire, and soon “ didn’t feel as well as lie used to do.” Near the fire was a brood of young goslings in a basket that had been j brought in, the weather being stormy. ! The heat made the man sick, and the disposition was strong within him to relieve his overcharged stomach. No vessel being handy for the purpose, except the basket of goslings, the load was quickly deposited there. Calling his wife, he exclaimed, “Phe-Phoebe, where did I (hie) did I eat those gos glings?” PASSING ROUND THE HAT. The incident related below didn’t occur in these parts: The hat was passed around in a cer tain church for the purpose of taking up a collection. After it had made the circuit of the house, it was hand ed to the minister, who had exchang ed pulpits with the regular preacher, and he found not a cent in it. He inverted the hat over the pulpit cushion and shook it, that its empty ness might be known, then, looking toward the ceiling, he exclaimed with great fervor: “I thank thee, O God! that I got my hat back from this congregation.” Mark Twain maliciously says: “ Mr. Greeley gets up at 3 o’clock in the morning, for it is one of his favorite maxims that only early ris ing can keep the health unimpaired ; and the brain vigorous. He then ! wakes up all the household and as | sembles them in the library by can i dlelight, and, after quoting the beau ; tiful lines, ‘ early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise,’ he appoints each individ ual’s task for the day, sets him at it with encouraging words, and goes back to bed again.” Old boots and shoes are now cut in to small pieces, and put into chloride of sulphur for a few days. This makes the leather hard and brittle, and after it has been washed and thoroughly dried, it is ground to pow der and mixed with a sort of gum or glue. It is then pressed into moulds, and buttons, knife handles, and sim ilar articles are the result. Philadelphia, June 7.—The meeting last night ratifying the tick et was the largest ever held in Phila delphia. Congressman Bingham, of Ohio, and Sam Bard, ofTenn., (late of Idaho) were the principal orators. State Finances".— The people of Georgia will be pleased to learn that without going out of the State, Gov ernor Smith has effected loans, on most favorable terms, ample to meet all the demands upon the treasury. The Banks of Savannah, when he was here, offered him two hundred thousand dollars at seven per cent, interest, which he accepted.—Repub lican. The Cleveland Leader says that a gentleman in that city who prides himself on his personal appearance, lately sought to remove a grease spot from his coat tail by the free use of benzine, and then stood close to the stove that the odor might evaporate more quickly. He was quite correct in theory, but unfortunate in practice, for he was soon turning cart wheels through the window, and there was not enough coat-tail left to make a “weskit” for a doll-baby. He does not rirle on horseback now, and he sleeps on all fours like a mule. “Your dress” said a husband to his fashionable wife, “will never please the men.” “ 1 don’t dress to please men,” was the reply, “ but to wory other women.” The following affecting query was addressed to his sweetheart by a po etical lover in Egypt: ; If you was a dog, and I was a hog, And I got into your master’s yard, And your master was to sick you on me, Would you bite me very hard?” Here is a joke for country boys: | Two Irishmen once saw a red-heacled wood-pecker peck at an old stump. ; “ Murther, Jemmy !” exclaimed one \ of them to his compatriot, “just look i at yon bur-red ; he’s hommered his ! head till it’s all ablaydin 1” Agricultural Department. i TUOIfcUTS FOR THE MONTH. This is the critical period with the summer crops—virtually they are made or lost the present* month. If the grass is not promptly subdued, it will either “ take ” the crop or give it a backset from which it will never recover. Every experienced farmer is aware of this*; but j>ossibly some of our younger readers have not lost a crop by a little dallying or procrasti nation, or lack of promptness and en rergv, and do not so fully appreciate the demands of the situation; for such we may be allowed to put in a word of caution. His extra hands, if you can get them, or can work them to any advantage, remembering that in this ea<e it is true to the fullest extent, that a “ stitch in time saves nine.” Work early, work late—lose no time till the battle is won. LAYING BY CORN. Let the last working be thorough; whatever com Is going to do, it must do quickly; it will soon tassel and silk, and the development of the ear must follow rapidly. It cannot wait for seasons—give it therefore every op portunity, kill every bunch of * grass and every weed, if any there be to dispute the ground with it. Make the surface mellow, that air and mois ture may penetrate, if it should be dry. Plough shallow so as not to in jure the roots—the plant must feed rapidly, and will need every mouth it lias. COTTON. Cotton should now make “ weed ” preparatory to fruiting in July and August. Work it therefore as* often as possible. If it is small and the ground is hard, plough pretty deep in the middles—if the soil is clean and soft, sweepings or harrowings will answer. Let the hoes go over care fully and remove all grass which may have been overlooked. If well done, little or no hoeing will be needed thereafter—light plowings until the limbs meet in the middles, will make the crop. TEAS. Plant a large crop of peas ; the seed should be in the ground by the mid dle of this month. Don’t rely on that planted in corn, but plant by them selves—lay off rows three feet apart, drop in hills 18 inches apart, half-doz en seed to the hill. This is one of the most cheaply raised crops we have, and none more valuable either for grain or forage. If it fails to mature before frost, the vines can be out for hay, or if not needed for that, they will furnish the land with the cheap est nitrogen to be had for the next years crop. SWEET POTATOES. Slips may still be set out—have seen good potatoes made (even in this lati tude) with slips put out the Ist of Ju ly—but that is not usual; in this hill country the middle of June is late enough. Crabgrass is peculiarly in imical to the sweet potato, keep it therefore carefully out of the patch ; take the vines out of one middle, and after plowing and hoeing it, pull the vines back, and work the next, and so on. The vines should never be al lowed to take root in the middles. FORAGE. Look well to a full supply for the coming winter. If there Daily pros pect of scarcity, put a few acres in drilled corn ; on rich and thoroughly prepared land, the yield is almost in credible. Put in drills 2 1-2 or 3 feet apart, so astoallowa working or two, and sow about 3 bushels of seed to the acre. It ought to be thick, to make the stems small and easily cured. Cut about the time it silks.. The dif ficulty of curing is the greatest draw back. As soon as it will bear it with out danger of moulding, tie in bun dles and set on huts against the skies of barns, Ac., &c., under shelter to cure. HARVEST. In farming 1 , as in most things, it is not wise to change a certain for an uncertain good. It would be extreme ly foolish, for instance, to neglect the wheat and oat crops now ready for the garner, to cultivate a cotton crop, which, to say the least of it, is very uncertain, both as to yield and price. Save the wheat and oats, and do it well. As the weather can never be counted on, shock up exactly as you would do if you were certain that a rainy spell would begin the next day. Just as soon as the grain is ripe enough to bear it, house or stack without de lay. If possible, wheat should be housed. STACKS. Oats may be stacked or, what is better perhaps, put in ricks. If in stacks, these should be large, to ex pose a small extent of surface in«com parison with the amount of straw and grain in the stack. Carry the sides up perpendicularly for say half the height of the stack, and then “ draw in ” very gradually to the top. Most of the damaged stacks we ever saw were injured by too rapid “drawing in ” and imperfect capping. RICKS. Select a high, dry spot, drive two forks in the ground, so that they may I stand 15 to 18 inches high, and such | distance apart as the amount of grain I demands. Lay a pole in the forks, then set up a row of bundles on each I side of the poles, their butts on the i ground, their heads resting against | each other above the pole. Continue | to set uj> bundles on each side of these ! first rows until the desired effect with the base is had—6, 8 or more feet. These bundles that rest on the ground should be pressed closely and firmly together to make a good foundation. Now place a set of bundles on this 1 foundation, with their butts projeet i ing a little over the edges and the ! tops raised by laying bundles under I them, so as to give the butts a mode rate slope downward. Now fill in across the widths with bundles laid horrizontally, then arrange another set of bundles along the edges as be ! fore, but drawing in a little, so that the successive courses of bundles may resemble the successive courses of I shingles on a roof. Then fill in across ; as before, and so on. The ends may be built up perpendicularly—but the drawing in of the sides finally brings them up to a “comb.” This should be neatly capped with a ridge board made of two broad planks nailed to gether, and held in position by poles resting on them from opposite sides. There is hardly any limit to the amount of grain which can be put in a rick, sis its length can be extended indefinitely. For feeding purposes, oats cut as soon as they begin to turn well an swer best—the straw is not then so hard and woody as in the ripe, and the grain dots not shatter so badly in handling. OAT STUBRLE. Where the oat stubble is not in clo ver or grass, it may be planted in drill ed peas, and the plowings given these will cover enough oat seed to give a good stand of oats again in the fall. In this manner quite a number of good crops of oats and peas may be grown in succession. TURNIPS. * Begin at once to prepare for a tur- i nip crop. The land intended for this crop should have a “clean fallow,” j that is it should be ploughed over and over again at intervals of a few weeks, I so as to keep it perfectly clean and get it into the finest tilth. Most of the manure intended for the turnips should be incorporated with the soil during these successive plough ings. j Os commercial fertilizers, bone dust or superphosphate are best. At the same time that the land is being pre pared, steps should be taken to secure a supply of good seed. For stock purposes the Rutabaga are mudli the best.— So. Cut. STISrLANTS. There is uo class of men who need to use stimulants more than farmers j and horticulturalists. We make this assertion deliberately and with the profoundest conviction of its truth. The nature of their vocation, and ; their relations to nature, prove it. j Stimulants produce heat; heat Is a means of motion; motion is essential to growth; growth is essential to pro duction. No one will suppose, we hope, that when we say farmers need to use stimulants we mean they need to pour them down their throats. We are led to commend stimulants in agriculture, because a gentleman said to us the other day that something ailed his soil; it seemed dead; did not appear to have vital force; was inac tive; did not produce. We told him it needed stimulating. “Stimulat ing?” said he; “how is that done?” Firstly, drain it; then plow it deeply, turning under active, unfermented manures. It will lose its inertness, will exhibit vitality, will germinate seed, and produce a crop. lie had 1 never heard of stimulating soil lie fore. Another friend of ours had been stimulated by something he had said j or read, to save all the manure made j on his farm, and get all he could else where. He told us after his first year’s experiment that it had aston ished him to find so much material that had before gone to waste. The very process of saving and applying had not only benefitted his farm, but i acted as a stimulant to himself. He had learned that with a hank of stim ulating material to draw from, lie could make every nook and corner of his farm pay. He did not confine himself to a crop of wheat, a field of corn, and a patch of potatoes—leaving his meadows and pastures to take care of themselves. Now, addl'd to excellent staple crops, he produced early and late peas, beans, and roots of all sorts; in fact he did not cease to plant and sow from April Ist to Au gust Ist. The sweet herbs he grew in out-of-tlie way nooks paid for his magazines, papers and books for the year. 1 lis pea crop fattened his hogs; his pumpkins and sowed sweet corn made his beef; his sowed corn kept up the milk of his cows during drouths, and his sugar beets and parsnips kept it up late in winter; his melons, grown in fence corners, gave his boys all the pocket money | they needed; his turnips, grown in his corn fields, kept thirty sheep through the winter, with a very little j hay and corn meal added; his crop of saffron bought the women their I>onnets and shoes; he sold iiis neigh bors spring and fall bulbs enough to pay for his two girls’ wardrobes; he grew evergreens and young maples enough between his orchard rows to pay for his hired help; he always has seed corn, seed wheat, strawber ry, tomato, pepper, celery, etc., plants to sell. Anil so he went through the list. Os course the pro ; duction of all this involved labor. But it paid him to hire and pay good ! wages. And this was all due to stimulants. He did not hesitate to buy ashes, leached or unleached, lime, refuse salt, livery stable manure, coal ashes, bones, shells, etc., etc., wherever he could find them. He never went to ; town but he carried something to sell; he never left town with an empty wagon; he would not waste the time of travelling home unloaded. If his clays needed sand, he drew sand and mixed with them; if his sand needed muck, muck was incorparated with it. As soon as one crop was off he had stimulants to apply to the land, and planted it with a crop he knew it would mature. In this complex hus bandry he found not only profit, but the greatest pleasure. He said it was as good as a variety theater to him to watch these various crops grow; and as delightful a stimulant to his mind and body as any drinking bout could be to a bummer. He believed in agricultural stimu lants. So do we.— Mural New York er. CAMV'ED FRUITS. The impression prevails among those who use the fruits freely which are put up in tin cans, that they are injured thereby, and this impression is, in many cases, correct. We have long contended that all preserved fruits and vegetables should be stored in glass, and that no metal of any kind should be brought in contact with them. All fruits contain moreor less of vegetable acids, and others that are highly corrosive are often formed by fermentation, and the metalic vessels are considerably acted upon. Tin cans are held together by solder, an alloy into which lead enters largely. This metal is easily corroded by veg etable acids, and poisonous salts are formed. Undoubtedly many persons are greatly injured by eating toma toes, peaches, etc., which have been placed in tin cans, and we advise all our friends who contemplate putting up fruits the present summer to use only glass jars for the purpose.—Ztos , ton Journal of Chemistry. To Keep Hams in Summer.— There are a number of modes given ; to keep hams through the warm sea- S son free from the attacks of insects. ; Some bag them and whitewash the ■ bags, which is troublesome and some | what expensive; some cover them with dry wood ashes and pack them in barrels; some pack them in barrels and cover thoroughly with pine shav ings; but we think the best plan of all, and certainly the least expensive with all who have a smoke house, and every farmer should have a good one, is to keep the hams hun» up in the smoke house, which should be kept perfectly dark at all times. We have eaten hams so kept two years old, and they were among the best we ever tasted. Uniform darkness is a complete protection against the at tack of insects. CHLORIDE OF LIME. Comparatively few people know the value of chloride of lime. It is only excelled by chloride of sodium in preventing decomposition of ani mal and vegetable matter and in re moving impure odors. It is a good protection against all malarious dis eases, and a small quantity should be kept in each room in an open dish through the warm weather, when such diseases are most prevalent. Cellars where vegetables are kept ought always to be supplied with it. It also drives away vermin. Some caution is needed in its use, as it rusts steel and destroys gilt if placed near them. How to Stop Hens from Set ting.—Our lady friends who gener ally have charge of the poultry de partment, are some times worried and tortued by the obtinacy of hens that persist in setting when they are not wanted to perform that duty. Many plans have been tried to prevent hens from setting, such as tossing them in the air, driving them from place to place, but the best way is to fasten a string to the hen’s leg, say, four or five feet in length, and tie the other end to a stake driven in the ground, close to the path where you are in the habit of passing frequently, and scare her as often as you go that way. One day effects a cure. Tomato Catsup.— Boil half a bushel of peeled tomatoes and seven or eight large onions until perfectly tender, taking care to stir them con stantly to prvent their burning. Stran through a fine seive. Then a quart of good vinegar, one cupful of salt, two ounces of black pepper, one ounce of canynne, one ounce of cloves and two pounds of sugar. Boil until thick enough and put away in bottles well corked and sealed, and it will keep better if stored in a drrk closet. New Advertisements. " —'TB ABE K —— The Best Hair Dressing and Restorer.
